Default Any good body shops @ 703 area?

Hi,

Hopefully I have posted at the correct place. If not, I apologize and please point me to the right direction. Few days ago, my sebring silver s2k got rear ended by a suv so my rear bumper got a dent and some of paint came off. So I think my car needs a brand new bumper with clips. The person who drove the suv said she would pay for it. Do you know any reputed body shops in 703 area (preferably arlington/fairfax/tysons area) that does good paint job or deals w/ cars like S2000?

Thanks for your help!

Take it over to D&V Autobody in Sterling. The maharaj brothers do awesome work. A little on the pricey side but you will have the satisfaction of knowing it was done to a high standard.

Yeah they are expensive but I've had three different cars of mine have work done there whether it was minor touch up's, PDR, or major paint work and all those times I was way more pleased with the outcome.

I can't speak for others though. I know a few guys from that have had good dealings with them. From what I understand, the Team Emotion guys all had D&V do all their work.

There is this one place in Manassas right off 28 in the Manassas Park area that did a fantastic job on my celica both times I needed body/paint work. Very reasonable prices too. I know this doesn't give you much info but I can't for the life of me remember the places name. I'll try to find it and get back to you.

Today, I called PTUNING in Manassas and they told me to look up for several body shops on Eculid Ave at Manassas Park. I think that's what you meant. They didn't really specify names so I assume they all are good but please do let me know the name, thanks!


A couple days ago, I went to the local one(T&J Auto Body Repair in Arlington) to get the idea of estimation. They were asking for about 780$ for bumper/clips, paint job (3 coats of each) and labor. Does it sound reasonable? I read some good reviews on their shop, I was wondering if you heard anything bad about T&J?

Anyways, I'll definitely check out a couple shops in Sterling.

I would recommend Pohanka Collision in Alexandria. They are a small shop that does mass work on mass produced cars, but great work on "special" cars like the s2000. From my experience, they take great pride in their work on difficult assignments such as the s2k, and I cannot recommend anyone any higher.

Mastercraft AutoBody. They have mixed reviews on the google page so I guess others were not as fortunate as me. Personally though, I reccomend them.
